Mic Question

It's called a roger beep, and most are boards added to the internals of the radio.. Originally designed for SSB work but more and more use it on AM..

 

You mean when they get done talking it goes *beep*? That's a roger beep. It's designed to let the other party know when your transmission is over. Especially on SSB.

 

And never use it on the big road. You'll be known as the queer on the radio lol.

 

I thought about putting that in my post, but the sick, twisted side of me didn't let my fingers work...

 

it's also VERY annoying , as it is 10 times louder than the voice transmission.

sometimes you can't hear the person talk only the freakin' BEEP.

it's a rookie toy.

never hear them on the police or military radios.

 

They don't make you cool. So do not buy a radio with roger beep...

 

a lot of big radios come stock with a RB but you don't have to turn it on.

 

anyone remember the chine when you keyed a Browning? I grew up listening to a guy w/ a Browning Golden Eagle & you always knew when he was starting to modulate.
